Before we know it, Cupid’s favorite day will be here! Yes, we are soon bidding adieu to New Years’ energy and saying hello to all things Valentine’s Day. ’Tis the season for heart-shaped boxes of chocolate, bouquets of flowers, and those quirky candy hearts! Like most holidays in the last year, upcoming Valentine’s Day celebrations will likely look a little different. Maybe you’re planning to celebrate with a cozy night in with your significant other, having a Galentine’s Day party via Zoom with your besties, or just want some fun Valentine’s Day content for your Instagram. Whatever the case, we’ve got you covered from a dramatic, totally-Insta-worthy idea to a neutral glam and everything in between!
Do It For The ‘Gram
A look like this is meant for social media! Celebrating all things pink, girly, and romantic, break out your boldest makeup and ring light and have yourself a photoshoot for some fun content to post!
Monochrome Maven
Who says you can only have a bright eyeshadow or a bold lip color? Some rules are meant to be broken, and this pop of color on both the eyes and lips proves exactly why! Using a fun shade of one color on your lids and lips can create a fun yet wearable monochrome look that will be the envy of everyone! Add to your singular color scheme by dressing in a matching shade as well.
Read My Red Lips
Here we offer you the perfect burst of color: a classic bold red lip! Sure to grab the attention of everyone (either on Zoom or once you’re safely seated and take off your mask, of course!), a red lip never fails to make a statement and demand attention.
Smoke Show
Not everyone feels comfortable donning a bright red lip, and for those ladies we offer a sultry smokey eye. Paired with a neutral lip color, this makeup lets your eyes do all the talking! The best part about makeup that focuses on a smoky eye is that you can make it as subtle as you want, or build up the layers of shadow which in turn builds up the drama of your look.
A Natural Approach
Remember when as a kid you were told “the secret to wearing makeup is to make it look like you’re not wearing any?” We beg to differ because even the most natural makeup look can be a work of art worth noticing! A great neutral makeup can be taken up a notch with a slight wing of your eyeliner and the right highlighter.
